Micromines were an Imperial space mine developed to saturate a targeted region but not be detectable by enemy starship scanners. They were extraordinarily small—to such a degree that they could pass through a spaceship's meteor shields—but extremely powerful. The composition of a typical micromine was a grain of anti-matter in magnafield casing, making them virtually undetectable to the enemy. While originally the plan was to mass produce these demolition weapons, the full-scale use in the space around the planet Shiva IV showed that such production would be cost prohibitive and the deployment of these weapons were scrapped.
